World-scale progression
Independent planetary economies with regions, research, automation and long-term expansion.
HARD SCIENCE FICTION // 2106 AND BEYOND
Recognition is negotiable.
Physics is not.
Across an inhabited Solar System, humans, machines and manufactured peoples argue over a political question technology can no longer postpone: what kind of person are you allowed to be?
THE CORONER // comics in development
REGISTRY // game in development
ALTERED STRAIN // THE UNIVERSE
Humanity changed itself.
The arguments outlived the laboratories.
Altered Strain is a shared hard-SF setting built around engineered bodies, synthetic minds, habitats, law, class and the institutions that decide who counts.
Earth remains old, crowded and historically layered. Luna turns contracts and access into geography. Mars builds a cleaner future over older scars. Venus thrives on trade, ownership and freeport ambiguity. The same lineage can live very different lives in every society.
PROVISIONAL LORE // RELEASE-LED WORLD BUILDING
The setting is expanding in public.
More lore will be released as the project releases.
Artwork, interface concepts and lore notes on this site are provisional development materials. Character designs, timelines, terminology, logos, UI and even some setting details may evolve as comics, case files and game builds move into public release.
The goal is to make the published material the source of truth. As new comics, records and regions go live, the site and lore resources will expand alongside them rather than pretending the whole archive already exists.

DEBUT ISSUE // THE CORONER // A FOREIGN COUNTRY
A death is still a fact.
Jurisdiction is another matter.
The Coroner is the debut Altered Strain comic issue, opening in 2106 Londinium. Sable Vey records deaths that institutions would rather classify away. What begins as a precarious coroner’s office becomes an increasingly dangerous question: what happens when the law refuses to recognise the person in front of it?
The debut issue will be followed by additional comic pages and story releases. Issue pages and case files will live permanently under alteredstrain.com, so links printed into comics can keep working as the project grows.
ALTERED STRAIN // REGISTRY
Collect the universe. Build the network.
Registry is the first planned persistent Altered Strain game: a web-first incremental collector spanning Earth, Luna and the wider Solar System. Build regional operations, automate production, discover Records and Assets, and collect Contacts drawn from the comics and wider setting.
Interface layouts, economies and character presentation shown here are exploratory and will be refined during production.
Contacts with context
Characters are people with histories, locations and relationships—not interchangeable stat skins.
One persistent account
The web service is intended to be the durable home; app stores are distribution channels, not the project’s identity.
THE SOL SYSTEM
One species stopped being one answer.
Earth
Ancient cities, revival names, biotech, automation and old institutions refusing to disappear.
Londinium // Scandia // Europa // OrbitLuna
Dense habitats, private thresholds and communities that turn self-modification into culture.
Aqua // Tycho // Finn’s Dome // Far SideMars
A coherent future built over surviving layers of older Mars—and arguments about convergence.
Mainstream Mars // Old Mars // DiasporaVenus
Freeports, inherited luxury, patched industrial systems and ownership layered on ownership.
Trade // Freeports // Underworld // Habitats
“Make stories abundant.
Make the official relationship valuable.”
The comics are designed to stand on their own. Games add persistence, alternative routes, collections and account history without turning the story into an advertisement that must be installed to make sense.
Stable case IDs, Records and locations can begin as fiction on the page and later become discoverable objects inside the Registry.
CREATED BY FUCHSIAWING
Comics first. Persistent worlds underneath.
Altered Strain is developed as a creator-owned transmedia setting. This site is the canonical home for the universe, its comics and future games.
Social platforms are discovery. alteredstrain.com is home.
REGISTRY TRANSMISSION
The world is already moving.
Comic releases, development builds and account registration will appear here as they become ready.
